Celebrity French shoe designer Christian Louboutin has reportedly claimed that wearing extremely high heels makes a woman free, and carrying six-inch steep stilettos is a form of liberty. Contrary to feminists’ outlook that vertiginous heels were a form of sexual enslavement, Louboutin believes that walking in the iconic red-soled creations made women individualistic.

Women do not want to give up wearing high heels, Louboutin reportedly said. He further added that he does not think about comfort when he designs shoes under his brand. Louboutin emphasized that while the company manufactured a line of trainers and flat shoes, he was inclined to his spike-heeled classics.

Louboutin told the media that now shoe flaunting with a towering 5-inch heel was comfortable, however, customers never approached him looking for a pair of slippers. Louboutin spun back the high heel trend after it subsequently faded in the 1990s and 2000s, confirmed reports.
